Executive summary Key messages

The 2019 edition of the GHG inventory of the Kingdom of Cambodia includes emissions for the years 1994-2016 of the gases CO2, CH4, N2O and HFC and the sectors of Energy, Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) and Waste.

The inventory has been calculated following the methodologies of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines. The global warming potentials uses are those of the Fourth Assessment Report of IPCC, based on the effects of GHGs over a 100-year time horizon.

The emissions of greenhouse gases estimated for the total of the inventory including Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) are 163 882 Gg of CO2-eq for year 2016, which is a 284 per cent higher than emissions in 1994. The main driver for this increase in GHG emissions is the deforestation reflected in the emissions of the FOLU sector.

The major contributor to the GHG emissions during the entire period is the Forest and Other Land Use sector (FOLU), which is driven by the change in carbon stocks due to deforestation and other changes in the land use. The second largest emitter sector in the country is the Agriculture sector. Cambodia has an economy which is strongly marked by the contribution of agriculture to total GDP, and that is also reflected in the emission pattern. In the time span covered by the inventory, Cambodian GDP has experienced a significant expansion, along its population. This is reflected in the increasing trend of the emissions of the third and fourth largest emitter sectors in the country, the Energy and Waste sectors. The small size of the carbon intensive-industrial sector in the country makes the IPPU the fifth contributor the national total GHG emissions.

Emissions (including FOLU) per capita have increased from 4.00 to 10.44 tonnes CO2-eq/ inhabitant/year. This increase is mainly due to the high deforestation produced in the country. Without FOLU, emissions per capita have increased from 1.47 to 2.09 tonnes CO2-eq/ inhabitant/year due to increasing energy consumption and overall activity levels (GDP). Conversely, GHG emissions (including FOLU) per unit of GDP have been reduced from a 15.41 to 8.26 tonnes Co2-eq/thousand USD/year. Without FOLU, emissions per unit of GDP have decreased from 5.65 to 1.66 tonnes Co2-eq/thousand USD/year. This reduction is due to the fact that the expansion of GDP is significantly higher than the increase of GHG emissions.

1 - Introduction

The 2019 edition of the National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions inventory of the Kingdom of Cambodia covers the GHG emissions of years 1994-2016.

This inventory addresses the estimation of the main direct greenhouse gases: Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Nitrous oxide (N2O) and Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC). Due to the lack of information on their occurrence, the emissions of Perfluorocarbons (PFC), Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) have not been estimated. The gases which are considered ozone precursors: carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), and Sulphur dioxide (SO2), which are also reported in national GHG emissions inventories, have not been estimated in an exhaustive manner in all the sectors

Greenhouse gas emission and removal estimates are divided into the main sectors of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, which are groupings of related processes, sources and sinks:

Energy Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU) Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) Waste

Each sector comprises individual categories (e.g., transport) and sub-categories (e.g., cars). A national total is calculated by summing up emissions and removals for each gas.

Overall, the 2006 edition of the IPCC Guidelines has been followed for estimating the GHG emissions and removals of the inventory. For estimating the emissions of precursors, the Guidelines of EMEP/EEA 2016 have been used, as proposed by IPCC.

The activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory coordinator for the different categories of each sector from the national compilation team. Despite the efforts made, the scarcity of data has been the main challenge for developing estimates in all sectors and emission sources and removals.

In the cases in which the information available at national level was not enough for developing estimates in line with the IPCC guidelines, international sources of data have been used and assumptions made using expert judgment.

All sectors include an improvement plan for improving the quality of the inventory in the future. For all sectors the improvement plan is mainly focused on improving the information available from national sources.

2 - Institutional arrangements and the elaboration of the inventory for the Kingdom of Cambodia

The National Council for Sustainable Development (NCSD) is a high-level inter-ministerial mechanism created by the Royal Kingdom of Cambodia to prepare, coordinate, and monitor implementation of policies, strategies, plans and programmes related to sustainable

development. The NCSD is chaired by minister of environment and is supported by the General Secretariat for Sustainable Development (GSSD). As part of the GSDD, The Department of Climate Change (DCC) is responsible for formulation of draft climate change plans and policies and serves as secretariat to the Cambodian Government’s focal points for UNFCCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Kyoto Protocol and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and other mechanisms. DCC also coordinates inter-ministerial Technical Working Groups (TWGs) by sectors and themes (GHG inventory, mitigation, vulnerability and adaptation, and UNFCCC implementation). DCC also supports the climate change activities of the NCSD and acts as the coordinating agency for UNFCCC reporting.

Therefore, the NCSD through the GSSD and the DCC have the overall responsibility for the inventory preparation. Nevertheless, Cambodia does not count yet with a sustainable inventory compilation unit or exhaustive institutional arrangements for inventory planning, preparation and management.

For the development of the 2019 edition of the GHG inventory, the GSSD signed a letter of agreement (LoA) with the General Directorate of Administration for Nature Conservation and Protection (GDANCP) of the Ministry of Environment (MoE) to assist the DCC in the preparation of national greenhouse gas inventory and the inventory chapter of the BUR. Thought this letter, the GDANCP has acted as inventory coordinator for the preparation of the 2019 edition of the inventory. The detailed roles and responsibilities for the 2019 inventory development were the following:

higher than emissions in 1994. The main driver for this increase in GHG emissions is the deforestation reflected in the emissions of the FOLU sector. Without FOLU, the GHG emissions are 32 871 Gg of CO2-eq for year 2016, which is a 110 per cent higher than emissions in 1994.

The next table provides an overview of the emissions of each inventory sector for the years 1994, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2016.

As illustrated in the following figure, the emissions of all sectors present an increasing trend from 1994 to 2016.

GHG emissions; Years 1994-2016 (Gg of CO2-eq)

The major contributor to the GHG emissions during the entire period is the Forest and Other Land Use sector (FOLU), which is driven by the change in carbon stocks due to deforestation and other changes in the land use.

The second largest emitter sector in the country is the Agriculture sector. Cambodia has an economy which is strongly marked by the contribution of agriculture to total GDP, and that is also reflected in the emission pattern. The main driver for the GHG emissions increase in the

agriculture sector is the development of the rise cultivations, whose activity level and emissions increased by a rate of ~2.5 in the period 1994-2016.

In the time span covered by the inventory, Cambodian GDP has experienced a significant expansion, along its population. This is reflected in the increasing trend of the emissions of the third and fourth largest emitter sectors in the country, the Energy and Waste sectors, respectively. The energy demand has experienced a significant increase, transport sector is expanding, and the population is migrating to cities; all these factors combined led to increasing fuel consumption and higher GHG emissions in the energy sector. The increased population and the changes in waste management and sanitation are the main drivers for the emissions of the waste sector.

Last but not least, the small size of the carbon intensive-industrial sector in the country makes the IPPU the fifth contributor the national total GHG emissions. Nevertheless, IPPU sector emissions experienced a growing expansion in the last period of the series, due to the raising contribution of cement production and the consumption of fluorinated gases.

Emissions (including FOLU) per cápita have increased from 4.00 to 10.44 tonnes CO2-eq/ inhabitant/year. This increase is mainly due to the high deforestation produced in the country. Conversely, GHG emissions (including FOLU) per unit of GDP have been reduced from a 15.41 to 8.26 tonnes Co2-eq/thousand USD/year. This reduction is due to the fact that the expansion of GDP is significantly higher than the increase of GHG emissions.

The following figure shows the percentage of emissions of each inventory sector for years 1994 and 2016.

Percentage of emissions by sector (as of % of CO2-eq)

The previous figure shows the decreasing contribution to total national emissions in 2016 compared to 1994 in the sectors of energy, waste and agriculture, and the increase in the contribution of FOLU and IPPU.

In terms of the contribution of each GHG to national total emissions, CO2 is the main gas emitted, driven by the large contribution of the FOLU sector to national total emissions, followed by CH4, N2O and HFC.

The following figure provides an overview of the contribution of each sector to national total GHG emissions without considering the FOLU sector.

GHG emissions without FOLU; Years 1994-2016 (Gg of CO2-eq)

The GHG emissions without the FOLU sector are dominated by the contribution of the agriculture sector and the increasing contributions of the energy and waste sectors. In year 2016, the split of emissions without FOLU by sector is the following: Agriculture 56.0%, Energy 29.2%, Waste 9.3% and IPPU 5.5%.

Without FOLU, emissions per capita have increased from 1.47 to 2.09 tonnes CO2-eq/ inhabitant/year due to increasing energy consumption and overall activity levels (GDP). The emissions per unit of GDP have decreased from 5.65 to 1.66 tonnes Co2-eq/thousand USD/year. This reduction is due to the fact that the expansion of GDP is significantly higher than the increase of GHG emissions.

Without FOLU, the main GHG emitted is CH4, as a result of the large contribution of the agriculture sector, followed by CO2, N2O and HFC.

1. Introduction

This document presents the 2019 edition of the National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions inventory of the Kingdom of Cambodia that covers the GHG emissions of years 1994-2016. This inventory has been estimated following the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, and has been compiled with the involvement of a national inventory compilation team and the focal points of the main line ministries of the country.

Gases

This inventory addresses the estimation of the main direct greenhouse gases: Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Nitrous oxide (N2O) and Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC). Due to the lack of information on their occurrence, the emissions of Perfluorocarbons (PFC), Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) have not been estimated.

The gases which are considered ozone precursors: carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), and Sulphur dioxide (SO2), which are also reported in national GHG emissions inventories, have not been estimated in an exhaustive manner in all the sectors (the reasons are explained in the corresponding sections of this national inventory report).

Sectors and categories

Greenhouse gas emission and removal estimates are divided into the main sectors of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, which are groupings of related processes, sources and sinks:

Energy Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU) Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) Waste

Each sector comprises individual categories (e.g., transport) and sub-categories (e.g., cars). A national total is calculated by summing up emissions and removals for each gas.

An exception is emissions from fuel use in ships and aircraft engaged in international transport which is not included in national totals but is reported separately.

Reporting of emission estimates is generally organised according to the sector actually generating emissions or removals. There are some exceptions to this practice, such as CO2 emissions from biomass combustion for energy, which are reported in AFOLU Sector as part of net changes in carbon stocks.

Methodology

Overall, the 2006 edition of the IPCC Guidelines has been followed for estimating the GHG emissions and removals of the inventory. For estimating the emissions of precursors, the Guidelines of EMEP/EEA 20161 have been used, as proposed by IPCC.

The details of the methodology used for each category are specified in the corresponding methodological sections of the report.

Both the 2006 IPCC and the EMEP/EEA 2016 Guidelines provide methodologies of different complexity (tiers 1 to 3) which can be used in different circumstances and are generally based in linear models.

The basic equation for estimating the emission of one category is the following:

{1} 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 , , 𝐴𝐷 , ∙ 𝐸𝐹 , , Where 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 , , 𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑐, 𝑔𝑎𝑠 𝑔 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑡 𝐴𝐷 , 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑐, 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑡 𝐸𝐹 , , 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑐, 𝑔𝑎𝑠 𝑔 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑡

The estimates of emissions and removals– in its simplest form- correspond to a direct relation between an emission factor (emission rate by unit of activity) and the activity data which represents the corresponding level of activity.

The activity data describes the annual magnitude of one activity (for instance, cement production, fuel consumption, etc, at national level, for one category and one year).

The emission factor is the amount of gas emitted by unit of activity (for instance, Gg of CH4 by tonne of fuel consumed). Default emission factors are provided by the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for the direct GHGs and by EMEP/EEA 2016 Guidelines for the precursors.

In many cases, the activity data available do not correspond to the emission factor available or used. In these cases, the data need to be converted using conversion factors. In such cases, the equation is the following:

{2} 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 , , 𝐴𝐷 , ∙ 𝐸𝐹 , , ∙ 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑖ó𝑛 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟

All the equations require of a statistical value which needs to be obtained from the entities which collect regularly the data.

There are several IPCC methods that can be used for estimating emissions and removals. The choice of one method depends on the availability of data, the current circumstances of the country and the human and financial resources to elaborate the inventory.

In the IPCC terminology, the simplest method is “tier 1”, while “tier 2” and “tier 3” are more advanced methods.

Tier 1 methods use default emission factors provided by 2006 IPCC Guidelines which require basic national activity data.

Tier 2 methods use more detailed methodologies using national specific emission factors, technology specific emission factors and/or regional emission factors and require data which certain level of disaggregation (higher breakdown than tier 1).

Tier 3 methods use models, data from surveys or direct measurements.

It is important to use higher tier methods for those categories which the country considers more important. For this reason, the first phase in the inventory development was to analyse the key categories using the results of inventories previously reported in the first and second national communication. In practice, tier 1 methodologies are used for categories with low impact in the inventory, tier 2 methodologies are used for categories with significant impact on the inventory, as much as the national circumstances allow it, and tier 3 methodologies are used in categories with very high impact on the inventory (improvement plans should focus in obtaining progressively more detailed and national specific data for enabling the country to use higher tiers and thus produce much more accurate and precise emissions and removals estimates).

Nevertheless, due to the lack of availability of data and the absence of national specific emission factors, the emissions and removals estimates have been performed using a tier 1 methodology for most categories, gases and years.

Specifically, the categories, gases and years for which a tier 2 methodology is applied are the following:

‐ Cement production CO2 emissions for the years 2007-2015, as plant specific data on clinker production is available.

‐ Land CO2 emissions for the years 1994-2016, as the calculations for the lands are based on a comprehensive monitoring of the land use and a country specific estimate for each type of land.

Data Sources

The activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory coordinator for the different categories of each sector from the national compilation team. Despite the efforts made, the scarcity of data has been the main challenge for developing estimates in all sectors and emission sources and removals.

Page 17: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

5

In the cases in which the information available at national level was not enough for developing estimates in line with the IPCC guidelines, international sources of data have been used and assumptions made using expert judgment.

All sectors include an improvement plan for improving the quality of the inventory in the future. For all sectors the improvement plan is mainly focused on improving the information available from national sources.

Regarding the emission factors and other coefficients, the 2006 IPCC Guidelines were used as a primary source of information. Nevertheless, the Guidelines have been complemented with other sources when necessary. All the cases in which the 2006 IPCC Guidelines have not been used are specified in the report.

Global Warming Potentials

The Global Warming Potential (GWP) was developed to allow comparisons of the global warming impacts of different gases. The larger the GWP, the more that a given gas warms the Earth compared to CO2 over a time period. The time period usually used for GWPs is 100 years. GWPs provide a common unit of measure, which allows to add up emissions estimates of different gases and thus to compile a national GHG inventory.

In the Conference of the Parties (COP) decisions, Parties may use GWPs to reflect their inventories and projections in CO2 eq terms. In such cases, the 100-year time-horizon values provided by the IPCC in its Special Reports should be used.

In 2002 the COP by its decision 17/CP.8 decided that non-Annex I Parties wishing to report on aggregated GHG emissions and removals expressed in CO2 eq should use the “1995 IPCC GWP Values” based on the effects of GHGs over a 100-year time horizon. At the same time, by its decision 18/CP.8, it decided that Annex I Parties should report aggregate emissions and removals of GHGs, expressed in CO2 eq using the same “1995 IPCC GWP Values” based on the effects of GHGs over a 100-year time horizon.

In 2013, under the framework of the UNFCCC reporting guidelines on annual inventories for Annex I Parties, the COP, by decision 24/CP.19, decided that, from 2015, the GWPs used to calculate the CO2 equivalence of emissions and removals of GHGs shall be, also those listed in the column entitled “Global warming potential for given time horizon” in table 2.14 of the errata to the contribution of Working Group I to the Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC, based on the effects of GHGs over a 100-year time horizon.

Under the Convention, the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) 44 (2016) noted that the COP requested the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Paris Agreement (APA) to elaborate guidance for accounting for Parties’ nationally determined contributions which ensures that accounting is in accordance with common metrics assessed by the IPCC (1/CP.21, paragraph 31). Therefore, the SBSTA agreed to defer the consideration of common metrics to SBSTA 46 (May 2017) so as to be able to take into account deliberations under the APA. During SBSTA 47 (November 2017) Parties recognized that further consideration of common metrics by the APA was necessary and agreed to resume consideration of common metrics at SBSTA 50 (June 2019), so as to be able to take into account the deliberations under

Page 18: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

6

the APA on this matter. The APA concluded its deliberations at CMA 1 (December 2018), and Parties agreed that Parties account for anthropogenic emissions and removals in accordance with common metrics assessed by the IPCC and in accordance with decision 18/CMA.1 (decision 4/CMA.1, annex II, paragraph 1(a)). Pursuant the modalities, procedures and guidelines (MPGs) for the transparency framework for action and support adopted by decision 18/CMP.1, Parties agreed to use the 100-year time-horizon GWP values from the Fifth Assessment Report of the IPCC, or 100-year time-horizon GWP values from a subsequent IPCC assessment report as agreed upon by the CMA, to report aggregate emissions and removals of GHGs, expressed in CO2 eq. (decision 18/CMA.1, annex, paragraph 37).

In order to prepare an inventory aligned with the second commitment period of the Kyoto protocol of Annex I Parties using 2006 IPCC Guidelines, the GWP used for the 2019 Edition of the Cambodian GHG inventory are the 100-year time-horizon GWP values from the errata table of the Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC.

Notation keys

The use of Notation keys is a good practice for fulfilling the reporting tables contained in inventory reports. Notation keys are needed when the estimates of emissions and sinks are not made or if there is any clarification needed for a specific source when a numeric value is not provided. Notation keys are used to account for completeness and transparency in reporting.

Table 1 – Notation keys

Notation Key Definition Explanation

NE Not estimated Emissions and/or removals occur but have not been estimated or reported.

IE Included elsewhere

Emissions and/or removals for this activity or category are estimated and included in the inventory but not presented separately for this category. The category where these emissions and removals are included should be indicated (for example in the documentation box in the correspondent table).

C Confidential information

Emissions and/or removals are aggregated and included elsewhere in the inventory because reporting at a disaggregated level could lead to the disclosure of confidential information.

2. National system

In the context of national GHG emission inventories, a national system is the way in which a country prepares its inventory. The design and establishment of an inventory national system is a requirement for developed countries (Annex I Parties) under the Convention. The guidelines for national systems for Annex I parties2 provides the following definition:

“A national system includes all institutional, legal and procedural arrangements made within a Party included in Annex I for estimating anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of all greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol, and for reporting and archiving inventory information”.

Developing countries (non-Annex I Parties) under the Convention are not required to establish GHG emissions inventory national systems. However, the guidelines for the preparation of national communications and biennial update reports for non-annex I parties include similar information provisions, as follows:

Decision 17/CP.8, annex, paragraph 13: “Non-Annex I Parties are encouraged to describe procedures and arrangements undertaken to collect and archive data for the preparation of national GHG inventories, as well as efforts to make this a continuous process, including information on the role of the institutions involved”.

Aiming at fulfilling the information provision for the Biennial Update Report (BUR) and National Communication (NC), this section includes a description of the institutional arrangements in place in Cambodia for the preparation of the GHG emissions inventory, as well as a description of the inventory preparation and management procedures established that have enabled the preparation of the inventory.

The development of GHG emission inventory is framed under the preparation of the First BUR of the country. Hence, references are made to the arrangements in place for the development of the first BUR of Cambodia.

2.1. Institutional arrangements for compiling GHG inventory

In the fifth mandate of the Royal Government of Cambodia, the Ministry of Environment (MoE) was officially reformed aiming at strengthening the function of natural resource management and ensuring environmental quality management in the context of sustainable development. Along the reform of the MoE, the National Council for Sustainable Development (NCSD) was established by the sub-decree No. 59 dated 18 May 2015 with the objective of improving the inter-ministerial coordination for addressing the sustainable development challenge. Thus, the NCSD is a high-level inter-ministerial mechanism created to prepare, coordinate, and monitor the implementation of policies, strategies, plans and programmes related to sustainable development. The NCSD is chaired by minister of environment and is supported by the General Secretariat for Sustainable Development (GSSD). As part of the GSDD, The Department of Climate Change (DCC) is responsible for formulation of draft climate change plans and policies and serves as secretariat to the Cambodian Government’s focal points for UNFCCC, the

2 Decision 19/CMP.1

Page 20: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

8

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Kyoto Protocol and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and other mechanisms. DCC also coordinates inter-ministerial Technical Working Groups (TWGs) by sectors and themes (GHG inventory, mitigation, vulnerability and adaptation, and UNFCCC implementation). DCC also supports the climate change activities of the NCSD and acts as the coordinating agency for UNFCCC reporting.

It is also worth highlighting that the Cambodia REDD+ programme was transferred from Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to the MoE and is now under direct management and implementation of the General Directorate of Administration for Nature Conservation and Protection (GDANCP) within the MoE. The Cambodia REDD+ programme and its secretariat have key responsibilities in formulating forest policies, strategic and action plans aligning with Cancun decision and Warsaw framework on REDD+.

Figure 1 – Simplified organization chart of the Ministry of Environment

Note – G.D. General Directorate

The NCSD through the GSSD and the DCC have the overall responsibility for the inventory preparation. Nevertheless, Cambodia does not count yet with a sustainable inventory compilation unit or exhaustive institutional arrangements for inventory planning, preparation and management.

For the development of the 2019 edition of the GHG inventory, the GSSD signed a letter of agreement (LoA) with the GDANCP to assist the DCC in the preparation of national greenhouse gas inventory and the inventory chapter of the BUR. Thought this letter, the GDANCP has acted as inventory coordinator for the preparation of the 2019 edition of the inventory. A national and an international compilation team were temporally contracted for the preparation of the inventory.

2.2. Inventory planning, inventory preparation and inventory management

The 2006 IPCC Guidelines for the development of national GHG emission inventories recommend a set of steps to follow for the inventory compilation. These steps are the inventory development cycle, which encompass all the tasks needed to produce a national GHG emission inventory in line with good practice.

The following figure illustrates the inventory development cycle for Cambodia, based on the steps proposed by 2006 IPCC Guidelines.

Figure 3- Inventory development cycle in Cambodia

Source: Adapted to Cambodia based on 2006 IPCC Guidelines, Volume 1, Chapter 1.

A description of all tasks developed within each of the steps of the inventory cycle for the inventory edition of 2019 is provided below.

Identification of key categories

Key category analysis is the IPCC’s method for deciding which emissions or removals categories to prioritize in GHG inventory estimation (categories that should use progressively higher tier methods to increase accuracy and decrease uncertainty of the estimates).

Page 23: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

11

A category is key if, when categories are ordered by magnitude, it is one of the categories contributing to 95% of total national emissions or removals, or to 95% of the trend in national emissions or removals.

Key category analysis may need to be iterative; the initial ordering may need to be undertaken using Tier 1 methods, since it is not yet known which categories are keys.

The inventories reported in the First and the Second National Communications were analysed for a preliminary identification of key categories.

The first National Communication was submitted in 2002 and included the emissions of the inventory year of 1994. The second National Communication was submitted in 2016 and included the emissions of the inventory year 2000.

Based on the most updated NC, total national GHG emissions of the country for year 2000 are -456.81kt CO2-eq. Energy sector emissions are 2,767.30 kt CO2-eq, Agriculture 21,112.16 kt CO2-eq, Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) -24,565.50 kt CO2-eq and waste 229.24 kt CO2-eq. These figures illustrate that the AFOLU sector (Agriculture plus LULUCF, as of 2006 IPCC Guidelines) is dominant for explaining national total GHG emissions of the country. The IPPU sector was not reported in the Second National Communication, but it was in the First National Communication.

For their contribution to the level of emissions, the categories of transport, energy industries and forestry and other land use were identified as key categories.

For its possible contribution to the trend (i.e. the change of emissions from the first to the second national communication), the categories of solid waste disposal, rice cultivation, cement production and manufacturing industries were identified as key categories.

Data Collection

The development of the GHG emission inventory was based on the information available at national level that could be used for estimating the emissions of the different emission sources of the Common Reporting Format (CRF) and the 2006 IPCC Guidelines.

The 2019 inventory edition started from an initial planning phase for developing a detailed work plan for the development of the inventory, considering the prospective information requirements for implementing tier 1 methodologies. Accordingly, data questionnaires by sector (for the Energy, Industrial Processes and Product Use, Waste and Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use sectors) were generated and presented to possible data providers and stakeholders.

These questionnaires were used for gathering information from official sources.

The data gathered from official sources was complemented by international sources or assumptions. All data sources and assumptions are specified in the calculation files and in this national inventory report to ensure the transparency of the estimates.

Page 24: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

12

Finally, the cases in which there was no data from national sources, proposals were performed in the improvement plans at sectoral level.

The following table shows all the data sources by emission source as used for the 2019 GHG emission inventory edition.

Inventory compilation

The inventory compilation was performed using Excel worksheets, which include the raw information used for the estimation of the GHG emissions of each category, the coefficients used, the results obtained, and the QA/QC procedures followed. These Excel files were developed to be self-explanatory and can be used as a starting point for developing future national inventories. These are at the same time working files and an inventory excel database.

The 2006 IPCC Software was used only as a complimentary approach, just for QA purposes. The reason for doing that is the limited flexibility of the software for developing national tier2/tier3 approaches, the limitations for being used as a database (for instance, for including raw data as provided by data providers) and also for its constraints regarding national specific calculations to be done on the parameters used such as activity data, emission factors or other coefficients.

Several worksheets were developed by sector. In general, the worksheets follow the structure proposed by IPCC in its calculation worksheets, available at https://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/vol2.html.

The overall structure of the worksheets is the following:

Sheet “Introduction”: this sheet includes a description of the objective of the file, the categories or emission sources considered in the file, the description of the activity data used and the list of sheets in the file.

Sheet “Summary table”: This sheet includes the sectoral report table for the sector. Sheet “Results”: this sheet provides the results for all the time series for the different

gases estimated in both CO2-eq and mass.

The calculation sheets include links to the raw data used in the calculations, so it can be easily tracked. To the extent possible, a system of colors has been used: sheets coloured in light red and light yellow are raw data as provided by different data providers. Sheets coloured in green contain the calculations, results and key methodological variables used for the development of the inventory.

QA/QC Plan

A QA/QC plan has been developed to describe the Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures in place to ensure the datasets meet the quality requirements and to explain the data processing steps required for producing the datasets.

The QA/QC plan covers the following processes:

GHG inventory management, comprising all activities that are necessary for the planning and preparation of the inventory in order to ensure the accomplishment of the above-mentioned objectives and principles.

Quality control that is directly related to the estimation of emissions. The process includes activities related to (a) data inquiry, collection and documentation, (b) methodological choice in accordance with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, (c) quality control checks for data from secondary sources and (d) record keeping.

Archiving inventory information, comprising activities related to centralised archiving of inventory information and the compilation of the national inventory report.

Quality assurance, comprising activities related to the different levels of review processes including the review of input data from experts, if necessary, and comments from the validation workshop with all relevant national stakeholders.

Estimation of uncertainties, defining procedures for estimating and documenting uncertainty estimates per source / sink category and for the whole inventory.

Inventory improvement that is related to the preparation and the justification of any recalculations or the generation of new estimates.

The objectives of the QA/QC Plan are the following:

1. Compliance with the 2006 IPCC guidelines and the UNFCCC reporting guidelines while estimating and reporting emissions/removals.

2. Continuous improvement of GHG emissions/removals estimates. 3. Timely submission of necessary information in compliance with relevant requirements

defined in international conventions, protocols and agreements.

The five principles for this QA/QC plan are shown in the table below. These principles are interrelated and apply at various levels in the data compilation and reporting processes.

Table 4 – Guiding principles of the QA/QC

Principles Procedures in place to quality check if the principle is implemented

Transparency means clear documentation and reporting at a level of disaggregation that sufficiently allows individuals other than the compiler of the inventory to understand how the inventory was compiled. The transparency of emission reporting is fundamental to the effective use, review and continuous improvement of the inventory.

Check if documentation within the spreadsheets shows data inputs, calculations and outputs. Check if the chapters and sections within the NIR provide the activity data and emission factors with the sources used, explain the methods used and summarise the data set.

Page 27: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

15

Principles Procedures in place to quality check if the principle is implemented

Consistency means that estimates for any different inventory years, gases and source categories are made in such a way that differences in the results between years and source categories reflect real differences in emissions. Annual emissions, as far as possible, should be calculated using the same method and data sources for all years, and resultant trends should reflect real fluctuations in emissions and not the changes resulting from methodological differences.

Check if the same methods and the same data sources are used for the whole time series.

Comparability means that the national inventory is reported in such a way that allows it to be compared with national inventories of other Parties. This can be achieved by using accepted methodologies and by using the reporting templates such as those provided in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines.

Check if the same IPCC guidelines for the methodologies and reporting templates have been used for the whole inventory and for the same group of gases (GHG or precursors).

Completeness means that estimates are reported for all gases, all relevant source categories and all years and for the entire territorial areas of Parties covered by the reporting requirements set forth in the provisions of the Convention and its protocols.

Specific checks have to be made to ensure that estimates are provided for all gases, all source categories existing in the country and the whole national territory. Check if emissions from international transport are not part of the totals but provided as memo items.

Accuracy means that emissions are neither overestimated nor underestimated, as far as can be judged and with uncertainties reduced as far as practicable. This implies that Parties will endeavour to remove bias from the inventory estimates and minimize uncertainty.

Check if uncertainty analysis is undertaken and improvement plans proposed. Check if the most appropriate and up to date data sources and methods are used.

The accomplishment of the above-mentioned objectives can only be ensured by the implementation, from all the members of the Inventory Team and the external peer reviewers, of the QA/QC procedures included in the plan for:

data collection and processing, applying methods consistent with 2006 IPCC Guidelines for calculating /

recalculating emissions or removals, making quantitative estimates of inventory uncertainty, archiving information and record keeping and compiling national inventory reports.

Section Results of the QA/QC presents the results of the quality control and quality assurance carried out for the 2019 edition of the Cambodian GHG inventory.

Page 28: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

16

Documentation and archiving

For the development of the 2019 edition of the inventory, an electronic platform was dedicated specifically for archiving the information used, the files generated and all the reports and supporting information used for the preparation of the inventory. This platform was managed and oversee by the coordinator of the GHG inventory.

The main objectives of the archiving system are preventing information loss, and facilitate the update of future inventories. The information archives will be also used for providing information in the technical analysis of the BUR.

3. GHG emissions inventory – edition 2019

The following sections provide information about the results obtained, data used, methodology followed by category of emissions and removals. This information corresponds to the 2019 edition of the national GHG inventory of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The nomenclature followed is the one used by the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, as follows:

Table 5 – Nomenclature used

Inventory sector Code Energy 1 Industrial Process and Products Use (IPPU) 2 Agriculture, Forest and Other Land Use (AFOLU) 3 Waste 4

Each sector comprises individual categories (in capital letter), sub-categories (number) and sources/sinks (lowercase letter). A complete list of codes, categories and emissions, are provided in the reporting tables in each section of the report.

Overall, the 2006 IPCC Guidelines have been followed for estimating the GHG emissions and removals of the inventory. For estimating the emissions of precursors, the EMEP/EEA 2016 Guidelines have been used, as proposed by IPCC.

The global warming potentials used for the calculation of the total GHG emissions are those of the AR4, as follows:

3.1. Emissions trends (1994-2016) This report presents the results, methodologies and information used for estimating the GHG emissions of the Kingdom of Cambodia for the years 1994-2016 for the sectors of Energy, Industrial process and Products Use (IPPU), Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) and Waste.

The emissions of direct Greenhouse gases are pondered using the global warming potentials extracted from the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4), in terms of gigagrams (Gg) or kilotonnes (kt) of CO2-eq for the CO2, CH4, N2O and HFC. PFC, SF6 and NF3 have not been estimated due to the lack of information available.

The emissions of greenhouse gases estimated for the total of the inventory including Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) are 163 882 Gg of CO2-eq for year 2016, which is a 284 per cent higher than emissions in 1994. The main driver for this increase in GHG emissions is the deforestation reflected in the emissions of the FOLU sector. Without FOLU, the GHG emissions are 32 871 Gg of CO2-eq for year 2016, which is a 110 per cent higher than the emissions in 1994.

The next table provides an overview of the emissions of each inventory sector for the years 1994, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2016.

Figure 4 - GHG emissions; Years 1994-2016 (Gg of CO2-eq)

The major contributor to the GHG emissions during the entire period is the Forest and Other Land Use sector (FOLU), which is driven by the change in carbon stocks due to deforestation and other changes in the land use.

The second largest emitter sector in the country is the Agriculture sector. Cambodia has an economy which is strongly marked by the contribution of agriculture to total GDP, and that is also reflected in the emission pattern. The main driver for the GHG emissions increase in the agriculture sector is the development of the rise cultivations, whose activity level and emissions increased by a rate of ~2.5 in the period 1994-2016.

In the time span covered by the inventory, Cambodian GDP has experienced a significant expansion, along its population. This is reflected in the increasing trend of the emissions of the third and fourth largest emitter sectors in the country, the Energy and Waste sectors, respectively. The energy demand has experienced a significant increase, transport sector is expanding, and the population is migrating to cities; all these factors combined led to increasing fuel consumption and higher GHG emissions in the energy sector. The increased population and the changes in waste management and sanitation are the main drivers for the emissions of the waste sector.

Last but not least, the small size of the carbon intensive-industrial sector in the country makes the IPPU the fifth contributor the national total GHG emissions. Nevertheless, IPPU sector emissions experienced a growing expansion in the last period of the series, due to the raising contribution of cement production and the consumption of fluorinated gases.

Emissions (including FOLU) per cápita have increased from 4.00 to 10.44 tonnes CO2-eq/ inhabitant/year. This increase is mainly due to the high deforestation produced in the country. Conversely, GHG emissions (including FOLU) per unit of GDP have been reduced from a 15.41 to 8.26 tonnes Co2-eq/thousand USD/year. This reduction is due to the fact that the expansion of GDP is significantly higher than the increase of GHG emissions.

The following figure provides an overview of the contribution of each sector to national total GHG emissions without considering the FOLU sector.

Figure 6 – GHG emissions without FOLU; Years 1994-2016 (Gg of CO2-eq)

The GHG emissions without the FOLU sector are dominated by the contribution of the agriculture sector and the increasing contributions of the energy and waste sectors. In year 2016, the split of emissions without FOLU by sector is the following: Agriculture 56.0%, Energy 29.2%, Waste 9.3% and IPPU 5.5%.

Without FOLU, the main GHG emitted is CH4, as a result of the large contribution of the agriculture sector, followed by CO2, N2O and HFC.

3.2. Energy sector 3.2.1. Characterization of the sector

The energy sector includes all the GHG emissions arising from combustion and fugitive releases of fuels. Based on the IPCC 2006 Guidelines, GHG emissions in the energy sector are split into three main sub-sectors: 1A Fuel Combustion Activities, 1B Fugitive emissions from fuels and 1C CO2 transport and storage. The description of the nature of the emissions included in each sub-sector is provided in the following table:

Table 12 - Emissions included under the energy sector

Sector/sub-sector GHG emissions included

1. Energy sector All GHG emissions arising from combustion and fugitive releases of fuels. Emissions from the non-energy uses of fuels are generally not included here but reported under Industrial Processes and Product Use sector.

1A. Fuel combustion activities

Emissions from the intentional oxidation of materials within an apparatus that is designed to raise heat and provide it either as heat or as mechanical work to a process or for use away from the apparatus

1B. Fugitive emissions from fuels

Includes all intentional and unintentional emissions from the extraction, processing, storage and transport of fuel to the point of final use.

1C. CO2 transport and storage

Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) involves the capture of CO2, its transport to a storage location and its long-term isolation from the atmosphere.

The official energy balance of the Kingdom of Cambodia3 describes an energy sector significantly dependent on energy imports. From a total of 7 365 ktoes of primary energy supply for year 2016, only an amount of 4 336 ktoes were produced in the country, of which 4 107 ktoes corresponds to biomass. The remaining energy supply for year 2016 was fulfilled by hydrogeneration (225 ktoes) and other renewables (4 ktoes).

Regarding final energy consumption, the energy balance shows a total amount for year 2016 of 6 164 ktoes. The fuel which is more consumed in the country is biomass (3 530 ktoes), followed by oil products (2 111 ktoes), electricity (506 ktoes) and coal (17 ktoes).

In a more detailed analysis of the energy consumption of the country by sector using the latest data available on the sectoral split of fuel consumption (year 2015) 4, shows the transport sector as the main consumer of energy, with a 45% of total final energy consumption, followed by the residential/institutional/commercial sector, with a 39% of total final energy consumption, and Industry, with a 45%.

As a result of the energy profile of Cambodia, only the emissions of fuel combustion activities (1A Fuel Combustion activities) are estimated in the current inventory5.

Several categories are included within fuel combustion, as follows:

Table 13 - Emissions included under 1A Fuel Combustion activities

4 This analysis is made using the data from the ERIA report for year 2015, which provides data with certain level of disaggregation regarding fuel consumption

5 As Cambodia is mainly an importer or fuels, fugitive emissions from fuels produce minor GHG emissions. CO2 transport and storage does not occur in the country.

Category GHG emissions included producers; and All combustion activities supporting the refining of petroleum products.

1A2. Manufacturing Industries and Construction

Emissions from combustion of fuels in industry. Non-energy consumption of fuels is not included here by in the IPPU sector.

1A3. Transport Emissions from the combustion and evaporation of fuel for all transport activity (excluding military transport). Emissions from fuel sold to any air or marine vessel engaged in international transport are excluded from national totals

1A4. Other Sectors Emissions from combustion activities in the commercial and institutional buildings, in the residential sector and emissions from fuel combustion in agriculture, forestry, fishing and fishing industries.

The following table provides a summary of the emissions for the energy sector in year 2016. Complete reporting tables are provided in section Reporting tables.

3.3.2. Data sources

There are three data sources for the energy sector:

Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) – ERIA statistics – complete energy statistics for the period 2010-2015, and partial data for 2007-2010.

Energy balance 2010-2016 of the Ministry of Mines and Energy Association of South East Nations (ASEAN) database: Energy statistics for the

period 1995-2012

ERIA statistics are considered by national stakeholders a more exhaustive and complete source of data. These statistics were produced as a result of surveys developed to fill the

Page 36: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

24

existent data gaps; and was developed by a team of experts which combined international and national expertise. The dataset of ERIA was validated by national stakeholders. Nevertheless, the ERIA dataset was only complete for years 2010-2015, with year 2015 being only preliminary. For this reason and aiming at providing a complete and consistent time series for years 1995-2016, the three data sources have been combined for producing the activity data series of each emission category. Year 1995 is subrogated (1994) to provide time series up to the year presented in the first national communication.

The following figure shows the evolution of fuel consumption which has been used for estimating the emissions of the inventory. This time series has been estimated by the inventory team based on the data provided by the aforementioned sources of information.

Figure 7– Fuel consumption of Cambodia 1994-2016 – Data in ktoes

The previous figure shows that the fuel consumption of the country is driven by the consumption of biomass, the fuel with higher contribution to national total fuel consumption. Biomass consumption occurs in the residential sector, in the energy industries (production of electricity and charcoal) and industry. Biomass is followed by gas/diesel and motor gasoline, primarily used in the transport sector.

3.3.3. Energy emissions by category

Regarding methodologies, the most detailed data available in the country has been used to estimate through a sectoral approach the emissions of category 1A Fuel Combustion activities.

In the sectoral approach, the emissions are estimated using a bottom-up procedure, from the most disaggregated data available by sector. Data with a certain level of sectoral breakdown was available in the ERIA report for years 2010-2015. This data has been the main data used for building the activity data series used in the sectoral approach of the inventory,

The emission of the sectoral approach of the energy sector has been estimated using a tier 1 approach for all categories of the energy sector, using fuel-specific emission factors provided by 2006 IPCC guidelines (also EMEP/EEA 2016 Guidelines were used for estimating non-GHG emissions).

In the following sub-sections, information on the activity data, emission factors and emissions obtained for each category included in the sectoral approach of the energy sector is provided in more detail. Subsequently, a comparison between the sectoral approach and reference approach is provided to illustrate the quality of the data used by the inventory.

1A1. Energy Industries

The category 1A1 Energy Industries comprises emissions from fuels combusted by the fuel extraction or energy-producing industries. In Cambodia, energy industry emissions include the emissions which occur in the combustion of fuels for electricity generation as well as the emissions which occur in the manufacture of solid fuels (i.e. production of charcoal).

From 2014 there is a significant increase in coal consumption due to the operation of new coal power plants (Sihanoukville 100 MW coal power plant and the first 270 MW coal power plants of the CIIDG Erdos Hongjun Electric Power Co.Ltd.). The increase in coal consumption is reflected in lower levels of heavy fuel oil and diesel consumption.

For coal, the data from ERIA has been used for years 2008-2014 and the Ministry of mines for years 2015 and 2016. In the historical period there was no consumption of coal.

Regarding oil products, ERIA figures should be higher than the figure provided by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, as the data included in ERIA statistics completes the coverage of the data of the Ministry of Mines for years 2010-2015. Nevertheless, the amount of fuel consumed as contained in the data provided by the Ministry of Mines and Energy is higher than the corresponding figures of ERIA. For this reason and aiming at ensuring the consistency of the time series, the inventory has been calculated for this category and years 2010-2015 using the total amount of “oil” consumption from the Ministry of Mines and the split between the different oil products of ERIA. In the historical period there is data available in ASEAN on heavy fuel oil, but there is a sharp decrease in the consumption in years 2008-2009. The series has been smoothed for those years by considering 2008 and 2009 as outliers and interpolating between years 2007-2010.

Methodology and emission factors

The following are the emission factors used for estimating the emissions for the entire time series:

CH4 emissions from the production of charcoal has been estimated using an emission factor from the Revised 1996 Guidelines, as there is no emission factor specific for charcoal production in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines. The emission factor is to be applied to the amount of charcoal produced. This issue will be addressed in the 2019 refinement of the guidelines, so the inventory of Cambodia will consider it in the next inventory submission.

The CO2 emissions of biomass are not included in the total emissions of the sector. CO2 emissions from the consumption of biomass for the production of electricity are estimated by applying the biomass emission factor of the previous table to the amount of biomass consumed. Nevertheless, the CO2 emissions which occur in the production of charcoal cannot be estimated by applying a biomass emission factor to the total amount of firewood used for the production of charcoal, as not all the carbon is combusted in the process. Instead, the carbon content of the biomass is transformed into charcoal. For this reason, the activity data used for calculating CO2 emissions from charcoal is estimated by subtracting the amount of charcoal produced to the total amount of biomass which is used for the production of charcoal. A CO2 emission factor is applied to this amount of biomass calculated as a differential. CO2 emissions from biomass are reported as a memo item.

The remaining emissions are estimated by applying the emission factors to the corresponding activity data.

CO2 emissions do not include biomass CO2, which is reported as a memory item. The trend of emissions is driven by the decreasing consumption of oil products (diesel and heavy fuel oil) and the significant increase of coal consumption in years 2014-2016.

The emissions of CH4 of the category are strongly driven by the contribution of charcoal production. This effect is not seen in CO2 and N2O emissions, because Co2 is not accounted in the total emissions and N2O emissions from charcoal are not applicable, as specified in the 1996 IPCC Guidelines. The emission trend of these gases is there driven by the increasing consumption of coal for electricity generation.

1A2. Manufacturing Industry and construction

The category 1A2 Manufacturing Industry and construction includes emissions from fuels combusted in industries. If possible, the emissions of this category should be dissagregated by sub-category. The availability of data has not allowed to breakdown the emissions by sub-category. Therefore, the activity and emissions are provided for the manufacturing industry as a whole.

For coal, the data from the Ministry of Mines and Energy is the same as ERIA for years 2010-2015. Therefore, the data from both sources has been used. For year 2016 there is only data from the Ministry of Mines and Energy. There is no coal consumption for the historical period (before 2010).

For oil products (fuel oil and diesel) in the manufacturing industry, there is a significant difference between the figures provided by ERIA and the ministry of Mines. The data of ERIA has been used, as it has been considered more complete and more consistent (with the exception of a significant decrease of fuel consumption in year 2015). The data used for year 2016 comes from the Ministry of mines. For the historical period, the interannual variation rate of the data provided by ASEAN on fuel oil and diesel has been applied to year 2010.

For biomass, the data of the ministry of Mines is used for the entire time period. ERIA is supposed to be more complete, but the figures for this specific consumption are lower. Therefore, the inventory has used the data from the Ministry of Mines aiming at being conservative, but this issue should be addressed in the future. For the historical period (data from ASEAN), we split the amount (provided at an aggregated level), between 1A2 and 1A4, using the split of year 2010.

1A3. Transport

The category 1A3 Transport comprises emissions from the combustion and evaporation of fuel for all transport activity (excluding military transport), regardless of the sector. In the Inventory of Cambodia, there are two big sub-categories within the transport sector: civil aviation and road transportation. International bunkers (fuels consumed for international transportation) are not included in the totals but reported separately. Other sub-categories emissions to be allocated here, as railways (not occurrence) and domestic water born navigation (lack of data), have not been estimated in this edition.

The fuel consumption of international aviation is provided separately from domestic aviation, as the emissions of international bunkers are not included in national total GHG emissions.

The data on international aviation is only provided by ERIA. Year 2015 is subrogated to 2016 as there is no information for that year.

For domestic aviation, the data from the ASEAN database is used for the period 1995-2010; for the time period 2010-2015 the data from the Ministry of Mines and Energy is equal to ERIA. Hence, both data sources have been used for this time span. Finally, for year 2016 only data from the ministry of Mines and Energy is available. Regarding this value, as can be noted from the previous table, there is a significant interannual increase in year 2016 which affects the consistency of the time series. This issue needs to be addressed in the future.

For road transport, the data for the period 2010-2015 from ERIA is more disaggregated than the one provided by the ministry of Mines, but the aggregated figures are similar. ERIA has been used for 2010-2015 and the Ministry of Mines and Energy for year 2016, applying the fuel split of the data for year 2015.

For the historical period (ASEAN), there is data directly available for moto gasoline but there is a big gap between series (2010-2016 vs 1995-2009), so the interannual variation rate of the historical series time series (1995-2009) was applied to the figure of 2010 to ensure the consistency of the series. The same approach was followed for diesel. Conversely, the historical series of LPG, provided for the national total (national total consumption of LPG), was split between 1A2 and 1A4 using the proportions of 2010.

The main driver of GHG emissions in the transport sector is the increased consumption of fuels due to the increasing fleet of private vehicles. This is, in turn, due to the economic development of the country, the demographic expansion and the migration of population from rural to urban areas.

The data from ERIA has been used for the period 2010-2015. For years 1995-2009 for kerosene and fuel oil, the interannual variation rate of the original data from ASEAN has been applied to the value of ERIA of year 2010. It is also worth highlighting that for years 1995-2009 the amount of LPG (which is provided by ASEAN for the national total consumption) is split between categories 1A2 and 1A4 using the proportions of 2010.

As the value for oil consumption from the Ministry of Mines and Energy for year 2016 increases by a factor of 6 compared to the figure of 2015 (fuel oil plus LPG consumption), and would affect the consistency of the time series, the value for year 2016 from this source has not been used. Alternatively, the amount of year 2015 of ERIA has been subrogated to 2016. For future updates of the inventory, this issue should be addressed.

For oil products, the figures from the ministry of mines are significantly high compared to ERIA. However, ERIA is generally more robust regarding oil data (see section data sources above for a description of the sources), so the data from ERIA has been used. Nevertheless, this discrepancy between sources should be addressed for future editions of the inventory.

Regarding biomass products, the degree of detail of ERIA is very high compared to the ministry of mines, but the differences of the total amount of biomass consumed between sources (ERIA vs Ministry of Mines) are significant. The data from ERIA has been used for years 2010-2015 and for year 2016, when the data was subrogated. Even within the statistics provided by ERIA there are also differences in the data provided at different level of aggregation. The data provided at the most disaggregated level in the ERIA statistics has been used in the inventory.

For the historical period (1995-2019), the biomass fuel consumption provided by ASEAN is differentiated by “charcoal” and “firewood” and is not allocated in sectors. Therefore, the firewood quantities provided have been split between categories 1A4 and 1A2 using the proportions of 2007. For charcoal, it was assumed that the figures provided for the historical series is charcoal production, and all charcoal was consumed in the residential sector.

Lastly, biogas data was compiled in the ERIA statistics and was originally gathered by the national biodigester program, which started in year 2007. For future editions of the inventory, the data gathering collection process for biomass within the Ministry of Mines and Energy could be improved by using the same disaggregation as the ERIA statistics.

IPPC guidelines recommend applying a Sectoral approach and a Reference approach to estimate country’s CO2 emissions from fuel combustion and to compare the results of these two independent estimates. The Sectoral approach uses values bounded to each category that together add up the national total of the Energy sector while the Reference approach uses the total values of the national energy statistics.

The Reference approach is a top-down approach, using a country’s energy supply data to calculate the emissions of CO2 from combustion of mainly fossil fuels. Therefore, the Reference approach is designed to calculate the emissions of CO2 from fuel combustion, starting from high level energy supply data.

The assumption is that carbon is conserved so that, for example, carbon in crude oil is equal to the total carbon content of all the derived products.

The Reference approach does not distinguish between different source categories within the energy sector and only estimates total CO2 emissions from Source category 1A, Fuel Combustion.

For estimating CO2 emissions using the reference approach, the following 5 steps methodology needs to be followed:

Step 1: Estimate Apparent Fuel Consumption in Original Units Step 2: Convert to a Common Energy Unit Step 3: Multiply by Carbon Content to Compute the Total Carbon Step 4: Compute the Excluded Carbon

Step 5: Correct for Carbon Unoxidized and Convert to CO2 Emissions

These steps are expressed in the following equation:

Where:

AC= Apparent Consumption = production + imports – exports – international bunkers – stock change CFactor = conversion factor for the fuel to energy units (TJ) on a net calorific value basis CC = carbon content (tonne C/TJ (= kg C/GJ) ) ECarbon = carbon in feedstocks and non-energy use excluded from fuel combustion emissions (Gg C)

The data used for calculating the reference approach is the energy balance provided by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The differences between the sectoral and reference approach are the following:

Table 31 – Differences between the sectoral and reference approaches (%)

2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 6.01 3.41 6.05 0.88 0.57 7.34 7.73

There was no official energy balance before year 2010. The sectoral approach uses the most disaggregated data available that for years 2010-2015 is generally available in ERIA statistics.

The data sources used in both approaches (ERIA statistics and the energy balance form the ministry of Mines) are official. Nevertheless, no information is available to explain these differences between data sources. The data from ERIA statistics is more disaggregated and was found to be more consistent than the data from the Ministry of Mines. For this reason, it is the main data source used by the inventory. For the future, Cambodia will need to address the improvement of its energy statistics and ensure the consistency of the fuel consumption data. For years 2010 and 2012 the difference is found in solid fuels, while for years 2015 and 2016 the difference is encountered in liquid fuels. A detailed explanation of the inconsistencies found between data sources is provided at category level in the methodological section of the inventory.

3.3.5. Energy emissions trend

In the time span covered by the inventory, Cambodian GDP has experienced a significant expansion, along its population. This is reflected in the increasing trend of the emissions of the Energy sector. The energy demand has experienced a significant increase, transport sector is expanding, and the population is migrating to cities; all these factors combined led to increasing fuel consumption and higher GHG emissions in the energy sector.

Figure 17 – GHG emissions in the energy sector - 1994-2016 (Gg CO2-eq)

As illustrated in the figure above, the main contributor to energy sector emissions is transport (category 1A3), with a contribution that ranges from a 70.5% in 1994, to a 52.9% in 2016. The second contributor to GHG emissions of the energy sector is energy industries (category 1A1), with a contribution that ranges from a 11.1% in 1994 to a 33.8% in 2016.

The sharp interannual variation of emissions in the energy industry in year 2013 is due to the effect produced by the trade-off in electricity production from oil products to coal (a sharp decrease in oil products consumption were registered in 2013, while coal consumption only starts to raise in year 2014, producing this fall in consumption in year 2013) added to an overall slowdown in fuel consumption produced this year. The third contributor to the emissions is the sector other (category 1A4), with a contribution that ranges from a 11.4% in 1994 to a 5.2% in 2016. Lastly, the manufacturing and construction industry contributes with a 7.0% of emissions in 1994 and increased up to 8.2 in year 2016. The following table shows the contribution of each category to the energy GHG emissions for the entire time period.

The gas which is predominant in the sector is CO2, followed by CH4. The lower contribution of CH4 is explained by the decreasing contribution of biomass to total energy consumption, which in turn produces an increase in the contribution of CO2. This effect is intesified in the last period of the series by the increase of coal consumption for production of electricity.

Apart from GHG, the estimates of the energy sector included GHG precursors, which has been calculated using the EMEP/EEA guidelines. The following figure shows the temporal evolution of the emissions estimated for all gases, including precursors.

3.3. Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU) sector 3.4.1. Characterization of the sector

The industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU) sector includes the emissions which occur in the production and the consumption of products, except those due to the combustion of fuels, which are included in the energy sector, and the generation and treatment of waste, which are included in the waste sector. Considering that exclusion, GHG emissions are produced from a wide variety of industrial activities. The main emission sources are releases from industrial processes that chemically or physically transform materials where many different GHG, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs), are produced during these processes. Based on the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, the IPPU sector comprises eight categories:

2.A - Mineral Industry 2.B - Chemical Industry 2.C - Metal Industry 2.D - Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use 2.E - Electronics Industry 2.F - Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances 2.G - Other Product Manufacture and Use 2.H – Other

Nevertheless, the information available in the country points out that in Cambodia only the production of cement, the consumption of lubricants and the use of fluorinated gases occur. Consequently, the inventory includes emissions estimates for 2.A.1 Cement Production, 2.D.1 Lubricant Use, 2F1 Refrigeration and Air Conditioning and 2.F.3 Fire Protection.

Aiming at providing an overview of the industrial structure of the country, the following table shows the percentual contribution of each economic sector to national total Gross Domestic product (GDP).

45

The data available on the production and consumption of products in the country is scarce. This has been a significant challenge for estimating the emissions of this category. This is, in fact, the reason for not estimating the emissions of NMVOC, which are potentially a big source of indirect GHG emissions, given the industrial characteristics of the country.

The following table provides a summary of the emissions for the energy sector in year 2016. A complete reporting table is provided in the section Reporting tables.

3.4.3. Industrial emissions by category

2A. Mineral Industry

This category includes the CO2 emissions due to the consumption of carbonates in the production and use of mineral industrial products. As described by IPCC 2006, There are two broad pathways for release of CO2 from carbonates: calcination and the acid-induced release of CO2. In Cambodia, we will find only emissions due to calcination. A typical calcination reaction would be the following:

CaCO3 + Heat CaO + CO2

CO2 emissions from calcination of carbonates are mainly produced in three industrial activities: i) cement production, ii) lime production, and iii) glass production. Other industrial activities with lower significance are the production of ceramics, soda ash and magnesite production. According to this differentiation, IPCC 2006 Guidelines proposes the following categories for estimating CO2 emissions due to calcination of carbonates: 2A1 Cement production, 2A2 Lime production, 2A3 Glass production and 2A4 other uses of carbonates.

The methodologies for the estimation of the emissions in the four categories are based on the same methodological principle: the characterisation of the carbonates calcined with the objective of calculating stoichiometrically the CO2 release to the atmosphere. The molecular weight of the reagents and products of the calcination will produce the emission factor for each case. In the case of the typical calcination reaction {1}, the stoichiometric emission factor for CaCO3 will be ~ 44 tCO2/t Carbonate consumed:

CaCO3 + Heat CaO + CO2 Molecular Weight: [40 + 12 + 16x3] [40 + 16] + [12 + 16 x2]

100 56 + 44 For the inventory, only the production of cement has been identified as occurring in the country. The completeness of the sector will need to be further assessed in the future.

Page 59: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

47

Cement production

In cement manufacture, CO2 is produced during the production of clinker, a nodular intermediate product that is then finely ground, along with a small proportion of calcium sulfate [gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) or anhydrite (CaSO4)], into hydraulic (typically Portland) cement. During the production of clinker, limestone, which is mainly calcium carbonate (CaCO3), is heated, or calcined, to produce lime (CaO) and CO2 as a by-product (as in the expression above).

Additionally, cement kiln dust (CKD) may be generated during the manufacture of clinker. Emission estimates should account for emissions associated with the CKD.

Activity data

The data used for the estimation of the cement production emissions consist on:

i) national total cement production; and ii) clinker and cement production from the biggest producer company in the country.

The information of the production plant is not presented in this report for confidentiality reasons.

It is worth highlighting that 100% of national cement production is covered by the production plant which provided information for the period 2007-2015. In 2016, however, not all cement production is covered by the production of this plant. No information was available on cement production before 2007.

48

Methodology and emission factors

The methodology followed is a combination of the tier 1 and tier 2 approaches of 2006 IPCC. First, the clinker production provided by the biggest production plant is used for calculating CO2 emissions using the tier 2 approach. The following equation illustrates the method followed:

𝐶𝑂 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑀 ∗ 𝐸𝐹 ∗ 𝐶𝐹

Where:

Mcl = weight (mass) of clinker produced, tonnes EFcl = emission factor for clinker, tonnes CO2/tonne clinker CFckd = emissions correction factor for CKD, dimensionless

Then, as the information provided by the production plant included both cement and clinker production, the amount of cement not covered by the production plant was calculated by subtracting the production of the plant from the total national production. Using this quantity as activity data, the tier 1 method was applied, as follows:

𝐶𝑂 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑀 ∗ 𝐶 𝐼𝑚 𝐸 ∗ 𝐸𝐹

Where: Mcl = weight (mass) of cement produced of type i, tonnes Ccli = clinker fraction of cement of type i, tonnes Im = imports for consumption of clinker, tonnes Ex = esports of clinker, tonnes EFclc = emission factor for clinker in the particular cement, tonnes CO2/tonne clinker. The default EFclc is corrected for CKD CFckd = emissions correction factor for CKD, dimensionless

The emission factor used was the default tier 1 emission factor, which is already corrected for CKD: 0.52 tonnes CO2/tonne clinker.

The clinker fraction used for the cement production not covered by the production plan which provided information on clinker was the default provided by IPCC: 95%.

The high increase in CO2 emissions in 2016 is explained by the commissioning of a new cement plant in 2015. In 2018 an additional plant has been inaugurated, so the increasing trend in CO2 emissions from cement production is expected to continue in the future.

2D1. Lubricants

Lubricants are mostly used in industrial and transportation applications. Lubricants are produced either at refineries through separation from crude oil or at petrochemical facilities. The use of lubricants in engines is primarily for their lubricating properties and associated emissions are therefore considered as non-combustion emissions to be reported in the IPPU Sector. However, in the case of 2-stroke engines, where the lubricant is mixed with another fuel and thus on purpose co-combusted in the engine, the emissions should be estimated and reported as part of the combustion emissions in the Energy Sector. In this edition of the inventory all the lubricants consumed in the country are considered as non-energy consumption and reported in the IPPU, consistently with the information provided in the energy balances of the country.

Activity data

The data used for the estimation of lubricant emissions consist on national total lubricant consumption from the energy balance developed by the ministry of Mines and Energy and ERIA (see the energy sector for additional information). Due to the unavailability of data, the information of year 1995 has been subrogated for obtaining the activity data and emissions of year 1994.

The increase of activity data of lubricants in the last years of the time series is due to a very significant increase in the lubricants used in the transport sector, which reflects the economic development (increased per capita income rates) of the country. The order of magnitude of this data and the time series consistency will need to be ascertained in future inventory editions.

Methodology and emission factors

The tier 1 approach of 2006 IPCC guidelines has been used, as follows:

𝑪𝑶𝟐 𝑬𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝑳𝑪 ∗ 𝑪𝑪𝑳𝒖𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒕 ∗ 𝑶𝑫𝑼𝑳𝒖𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒕 ∗ 𝟒𝟒/𝟏𝟐 Where:

LC = total lubricant consumption, TJ CCLubricant = carbon content of lubricants (default), tonne C/TJ (=kg C/GJ) ODULubricant = ODU factor (based on default composition of oil and grease), fraction 44/12 = mass ratio of CO2/C

This equation has been applied using a Lubricant Carbon Content (tonne-C/TJ) of 20, and a Fraction Oxidized During Use (ODU factor) of 0.2.

The increasing trend of emissions of lubricants is driven by the increasing consumption, which is in turn due to the demographic and economic expansion of the country. The significant increase of lubricants in the last years of the series is due to a very significant increase in the lubricants used in the transport sector.

2F - Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances (F-gases)

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and other fluorinated gases are serving as alternatives to ozone depleting substances (ODS) being phased out under the Montreal Protocol. The sectors in which HFC, PFC and other fluorinated gases are used are the following:

• refrigeration and air conditioning; • fire suppression and explosion protection; • aerosols; • solvent cleaning; • foam blowing; and • other applications.

Page 64: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

52

HFCs and PFCs have high global warming potentials and are acquiring importance at international level regarding their contribution to national totals of GHG emission inventories. In this edition of the inventory, HFC emissions of the categories refrigeration and air conditioning and fire protection have been estimated.

Activity data

The activity data of this category is obtained from a study carried out by The National Ozone Unit of the Ministry of Environment on Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) consumed in the country. The information is limited to the imports of gases.

3.5. AFOLU sector 3.5.1. Characterization of the sector

AFOLU sector (Agriculture, forestry and other Land Uses), in Cambodia is very impacted by the land use part (category 3.B). For the period after 2010 especially, large emissions (131011 Gg CO2eq/yr) are estimated on the basis of changes measured between 2010 and 2014. Indeed, emissions largely exceeds removals for this category. In agriculture, rice cultivations and enteric fermentation are the main sources with respectively 9856 Gg CO2eq/yr and 3 554 Gg CO2eq/yr.

3.5.2. Data sources

The main data sources for agriculture are national statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF). It concerns animal populations, crop areas and productions.

Data on fertilizers is estimated thanks to statistics from the Ministry of Commerce (MoC). This data was completed by data estimated by the FAO and provided on FAOSTAT.

For the land use categories all the data used is coming from the report on forest reference level (FRL) provided by Cambodia to the UNFCCC within the REDD+ framework.

3.5.3. AFOLU emissions by category

3.A – Livestock Activity data

All emissions from livestock are based on animal populations. The animal populations are estimated based on different references. Data from 1990-2007 is from Statics Yearbook 2008, data from 2009-2017 is from Annual Report of the General Directorate of Livestock and Livestock Production reports from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF). Data for the year 2008 is estimated by linear interpolation between 2007 and 2009. Animal population of horses, sheep goats are extrapolated from 1990 to 2009 because of missing data. The category of poultry only includes chicken and ducks which are the main poultry production in Cambodia (pigeons, quails and geese are neglected).

3.A.1 - Enteric Fermentation

Methodology and emission factors

Emissions from enteric fermentation are estimated with the tier 1 methodology from the 2006 IPCC guidelines according to these equations:

𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝐸𝐹 ∗ 𝑁

10

Where: Emissions = methane emissions from Enteric Fermentation, Gg CH4 yr-1 EF(T) = emission factor for the defined livestock population, kg CH4 head-1 yr-1 N(T) = the number of head of livestock species / category T in the country T = species / category of livestock

𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐶𝐻 𝐸

Where: Total CH4Enteric = total methane emissions from Enteric Fermentation, Gg CH4 yr-1 Ei = is the emissions for the ith livestock categories and subcategories

Emission factors are default values proposed by the 2006 IPCC guidelines for Asia and developing countries in tables 10.10 and 10.11. Table 51 - Emission factors for enteric fermentation – kg CH4/head/year

N2O emissions from manure management are estimated with the tier 1 methodology from the 2006 IPCC guidelines according to this equation:

𝑁 𝑂 𝑁 ∗ 𝑁𝑒𝑥 ∗ 𝑀𝑆 , ∗ 𝐸𝐹 ∗ 4428

Where: N2OD(mm) = direct N2O emissions from a manure management in the country, Kg N2O yr-1 N(T) = number of head of livestock species/category T in the country Kg N animal yr-1 MS(T,S) = fraction of total amount nitrogen excretion for each livestock species/category T that is managed

3.B – Land

The calculations for the lands are based on a comprehensive monitoring of the land use and a country specific estimate for each type of land.

Activity data

The activity data is the set of land use matrixes implemented thanks to the comparison of different cartographies for 2006, 2010 and 2014. These matrixes are mostly focusing on forest areas because they were elaborated in the framework of the REDD+ program to define the forest reference level for Cambodia.

Methodology

For this inventory all the fluxes are calculated by stock variation by implanting the following equation 2.5 of the 2006 IPPC guidelines according to this:

∆𝐶 𝐶 𝐶

𝑡 𝑡

Where: ∆𝐶 = annual carbon stock change in the pool, tonnes C yr-1 Ct1 = carbon stock in the pool at time t1, tonnes C Ct2 = carbon stock in the pool at time t2, tonnes C

The different stocks are estimated based on different scientific references and national expertise. They are estimated for above ground and belowground biomass.

Results

The emissions of this sub-sector have not been disaggregated into more detailed categories because all lands which are not forests were aggregated in the baseline data used by the inventory. In the current inventory, all GHG estimates are related to forest, they may concern afforestation, deforestation or changes in forests. Nevertheless deforestation, is not supposed to be reported under forest category but under the final use category, which is not known. For this reason, it was preferred to keep only one aggregated value for all land use estimates (category 3.B) in the nomenclature.

3.C.1 - Emissions from biomass burning

Few information is known on biomass burning in Cambodia. For crop residue burning, relevant and accurate data has been found in a scientific publication (San et al, 20097), this publication was used to estimate biomass burning from rice cultivation.

For grassland burning the estimates used in the first and second national communication that 50% (IPCC 1996 guidelines) of grassland was burnt has been kept for the entire time series.

Activity data

The activity data is the area concerned by biomass burning. For crop residues, biomass burning was considered for rice crops and sugar cane cultivation. For rice crops, it was estimated that straw is removed on 100% of rice fields but remaining stubble is burnt in some cases (stubble is supposed to be burnt on 30% in rainfed areas and 20% in irrigated areas). For sugar cane, burning before harvest is very common because harvest is difficult without burning when there is no mechanisation, it was estimated that 100% of the area of sugar cane is burnt. For other crops no information was found, it was supposed that residues are not burnt.

Methodology

Estimation of greenhouse gas emissions from fire were calculated according to the following equation:

𝐿 𝐴 ∗ 𝑀 ∗ 𝐶 ∗ 𝐺 ∗ 10

Where:

Lfire = amount of greenhouse gas emissions from fire, tonnes of each GHG e.g., CH4, N2O, etc. A = area burnt, ha MB = mass of fuel available for combustion, tonnes ha-1. This includes biomass, ground litter and dead wood. When Tier 1 methods are used the litter and dead wood pools are assumed zero, except where there is a land-use change. Cf = combustion factor, dimensionless Gef = emissions factor, g kg-1 dry matter burnt Note: Where data for MB and Cf are not available, a default value for the amount of fuel actually burnt (the product of MB and Cf) can be used from IPCC guidelines.

Emission factors are default values proposed by the IPCC 2006 guidelines in table 2.5.

3.C.2 – Liming

No data on liming were collected, CO2 emissions from liming are thus neglected. This activity is supposed to be weak in Cambodia.

3.C.3 - Urea application Activity data

The activity data is the amount of urea spread in the fields. Data on fertilizers are not easy to use and data treatment was necessary to estimate a relevant estimate of fertilizer use in Cambodia. For this source only urea must be considered among fertilizer (mostly included in urea and urea ammonium nitrate). The form of nitrogen fertilizer is provided by FAOSTAT (even if this data is very fluctuating on the period). Gaps in the data sets are fulfilled by extrapolation.

Methodology and emission factors

CO2 emissions from urea application are estimated with the tier 1 methodology from the 2006 IPCC guidelines. The emission factor is 0.2 tC/t urea. The fertilizer named “Urea ammonium nitrate” (UAN) contains approximatively 50% of urea, the emission factor is thus 0.1 tC/t UAN.

3.C.4 - Direct N2O emissions from managed soils Activity data

Direct N2O emissions are based on different nitrogen inputs. Mineral fertilizers, organic fertilisers, pasture and crop residues are taken into account for this calculation.

Mineral fertilisation is not easy to estimate in Cambodia. Data by nutrients and products are provided by FAOSTAT for some years and the Ministry of Commerce (MoC) provides statistics on total fertilisers (tons of product) since 2002. FAOSTAT data by nutrient and data from MoC are rather consistent considering average nutrient contents of fertilizers (20% of N in nitrogenous fertilizers, 30% of P2O5 in phosphate fertilizers and 20% of K2O in potash fertilizers). The trend of fertiliser consumption is similar in both FAOSTAT data and MoC. For the inventory it was chosen to use MoC data to estimate the fertilizer consumption associated with nitrogen content of fertilizer indicated by FAOSTAT data. This mineral fertilisation, which remains rather low, is supposed applied on rice cultivation (assumption due to missing additional elements on the type of crop fertilised with mineral fertiliser).

Organic fertilisation is directly estimated from the livestock calculation. All organic calculation is also considered in rice cultivation.

Nitrogen inputs due to pasture are directly estimated from livestock calculations. All nitrogen inputs from pasture are put on other fields than rice areas.

Nitrogen inputs due to crop residues are calculated on the basis of crop areas and crop productions. Crop residues were estimated for rice, maize, castor oil,

3.C.7 - Rice cultivation

Activity data

The areas of rice cultivation are estimated on the basis of different datasets. MAFF publications were used for the period since 2004, with the detail for both wet and dry seasons (MAFF Annual Report 2016-2017 and direction for 2017-2018, and MAFF annual report 2013-2014). For the years before 2004, total harvested area was based on FAOSTAT and the split between wet and dry season was estimated thanks to different sources (national communications, etc.). Production is also available but is only indirectly used to estimate CH4 from rice cultivation in the tier 1 methodology (production is used to estimate the amount of residues). For this inventory, the 2006 IPCC guidelines were implemented, and 6 types of rice cultivation were defined in relation with IPCC requirements.

Type 1 (dry season - lowland irrigated area - 2 harvests/yr): The area is estimated on the basis of the area harvested in dry season (MAFF statistics since 2004 and for the following years 1993, 1994, 1995, 2000) Type 2 (wet season - lowland irrigated area - 2 harvests/yr): the area is the same as type 1. It is estimated on the basis of rice area harvested during dry season because it is considered that these areas are also irrigated (when necessary) during the wet season. Type 3 (wet season - lowland irrigated area - 1 harvest/yr): Cambodia made developed a lot its irrigation during the covered period. It is estimated by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) that irrigated area was around 15% in 2005 and 25% in 20108 in Cambodia. 25% of rice area represents more than the area harvested in dry season which means that some areas are irrigated to produce rice only in wet season. The area of type 3 is estimated by difference between total irrigated area and the irrigated areas which allows 2 harvests/yr (types 1 and 2). Type 4 (wet season - lowland rainfed area): this area is obtained by difference between total harvested area and all other types of rice cultivation. Type 5 (wet season - upland area): this area (35 000 ha) is estimated on the basis of the area estimated in 1993 (MAFF) and maintained for the entire times series. Type 6 (wet season - deep water): this area (108 500 ha) is estimated on the basis of the area estimated in 1993 (Bulletin of agriculture statistics, 1993) and maintained for the entire times series.

Methodology and emission factors

CH4 emissions from rice cultivation are estimated with the tier 1 methodology from the 2006 IPCC guidelines. Equations for rice cultivation is equation 5.1:

𝐶𝐻4𝑅𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝐸𝐹 , , ∗ 𝑡 , , ∗ 𝐴 , , ∗ 10, ,

Where: CH4 Rice = annual methane emissions from rice cultivation, Gg CH4 yr-1 EFijk = a daily emission factor for i, j, and k conditions, kg CH4 ha-1 day-1 tijk = cultivation period of rice for i, j, and k conditions, day Aijk = annual harvested area of rice for i, j, and k conditions, ha yr-1 i, j, and k = represent different ecosystems, water regimes, type and amount of organic amendments, and other conditions under which CH4 emissions from rice may vary

Emissions factors are based on the equations 5.2 and 5.3 and different assumptions relative to rice management. The 6 types of rice cultivation defined previously were subdivided into 4 subcategories dependent on residue management and manure application. This subdivision was made on the basis of a scientific publication (San et al, 20099).

Subcategory A: Manure application and stubble incorporation Subcategory B: Manure application and stubble burning Subcategory C: No manure application and stubble incorporation Subcategory D: No manure application and stubble burning

Table 79 - Rice cultivation subdivision

Variable Wet season Dry season A: Manure + Stubble incorporation 53% 48% B: Manure + Stubble burning 23% 12% C: No manure + Stubble incorporation 18% 32% D: No manure + Stubble burning 8% 8%

These values are estimated for the years 2005-2006 but applied for the entire time series.

The amount of manure and stubble incorporated are calculated consistently with the rest of the GHG inventory for livestock and crop residues.

Where: SFo = scaling factor for both type and amount of organic amendment applied ROAi = application rate of organic amendment i, in dry weight for straw and fresh weight for others, tonne ha-1 CFOAi = conversion factor for organic amendment i (in terms of its relative effect with respect to straw applied shortly before cultivation) as shown in Table 5.14.

Considering the types (1 to 6) and the subdivision (A, B, C, D), 24 categories were defined with specific emission factors. Emission factors are changing on the time series because of changes in crop residues and manure availability.

Considering the expert judgements used for the first national communication cultivation length is fixed at 115 days for the dry season and 165 days for the wet season. This value could be improved by taking into account the changes in rice varieties which lead to shorter cultivation periods.

3.6. Waste sector

3.6.1. Characterization of the sector

The waste sector includes the emissions that occur in the generation and management of waste. Based on the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, the emissions of the waste sector are split in the following categories:

4A. Solid Waste Disposal 4B. Biological treatment of solid waste 4C. Incineration and open burning of waste 4D. Wastewater treatment and discharge

Typically, the most important sources of emissions in this sector are the CH4 emissions from solid waste disposal, CH4 emissions from wastewater treatment and discharge and CO2 emissions which occur in Incineration and open burning of waste.

This edition of the inventory includes estimates for all the categories defined by 2006 IPCC Guidelines.

The following table provides a summary of the emissions reported in the waste sector. Complete reporting tables are provided in section Reporting tables.

3.6.3. Waste emissions by category

The data available at national level on waste generation and management has been used to derive a complete characterization of the overall management of waste in the country and its temporal evolution. Analogously, the data available was used to characterize the typology of wastewater discharges needed for estimating the GHG emissions of the wastewater sector. The following tables show the evolution of the country profile regarding waste generation and management as well as wastewater discharges typology.

Methodology and emission factors

The GHG emissions have been calculated using the tier 1 methodology provided by IPCC 2006 using the default values provided by the guidelines complementing it with national specific information. The IPCC methodology for estimating CH4 emissions from Solid Waste Disposal Sites (SWDP) is based on the First Order Decay (FOD) method. This method assumes that the degradable organic component (degradable organic carbon, DOC) in waste decays slowly throughout a few decades, during which CH4 and CO2 are formed.

4C. Incineration and open burning

Category 4C2 Incineration and open burning of waste includes the emissions from the combustion of waste in controlled facilities or in open dumps. Incineration of waste does not occur in Cambodia and therefore it is not included in the inventory.

Activity data

The percentage of population burning waste has been estimated based on the information available in Yut S. and Seng B., 2018. KAP on waste management.

The Activity data has been calculated using the following equation:

𝑀𝑆𝑊 𝑃 ∗ 𝑃 ∗ 𝑀𝑆𝑊 ∗ 𝐵 ∗ 365 ∗ 10

Where:

MSWB = Total amount of municipal solid waste open-burned, Gg/yr P = population (capita) Pfrac = fraction of population burning waste, (fraction) MSWp = per capita waste generation, Kg waste/capita/day Bfrac = fraction of the waste amount that is burned relative to the total amount of waste treated, (fraction) 365 = number of days by year 10-6 = conversion factor from kilogram to gigagram

The per cápita waste generation used is the same value used in category 4A solid waste disposal. The default value for Bfrac used is 0.6 as provided in the corresponding chapter of 2006 IPCC Guidelines.

89

Methodology and emission factors

Once the amount of total waste open burned is calculated, the emissions are calculated by applying an emission factor to the amount of waste burned in wet basis, for the case of CH4 and N2O, and by estimating the waste amount burned in dry basis for CO2 emissions as follows:

𝐶𝑂 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑆𝑊 ∗ 𝑑𝑚 ∗ 𝐶𝐹 ∗ 𝐹𝐶𝐹 ∗ 𝑂𝐹 ∗ 44/12

Where:

SWi = total amount of solid waste of type i (wet weight) incinerated or open-burned, Gg/yr dmi = dry matter content in the waste (wet weight) incinerated or open-burned, (fraction) CFi = fraction of carbon in the dry matter (total carbon content), (fraction) FCFi = fraction of fossil carbon in the total carbon, (fraction) OFi = oxidation factor, (fraction) 44/12 = conversion factor from C to CO2

i = type of waste incinerated/open-burned specified as follows: MSW: municipal solid waste; ISW: industrial solid waste,

The parameters used in the calculation are the following:

Oxidation factor: 0.58 Th coefficients provided by 2006 IPCC of Dry Matter Content, Fraction of Carbon in

Dry Matter and Fraction of Fossil Carbon in Total Carbon, which are specific to each component of the waste.

The emissions factors used for calculating the emissions are those proposed by 2006 IPCC guidelines for the tier 1 method: 6.5 g CH4/kg and 0.15 g N2O/kg.

4D. Wastewater treatment and discharge

Category 4D Wastewater treatment and discharge includes the emissions of CH4 and NO2 that occur when the wastewater is treated or disposed anaerobically. Wastewater originates from a variety of domestic, commercial and industrial sources and may be treated on site (uncollected), sewered to a centralized plant (collected) or disposed untreated nearby or via an outfall.

The Organically degradable material in wastewater (TOW), has been calculated as follows, using the value “collected” for the adjustment of industrial wastewater and the BOD value provided for “Asia, Middle East, Latin America”:

𝑇𝑂𝑊 𝑃 ∗ 𝐵𝑂𝐷 ∗ 0.001 ∗ 𝐼 ∗ 365 Where:

TOW = total organics in wastewater in inventory year, kg BOD/yr P = country population in inventory year, (person) BOD = country-specific per capita BOD in inventory year, g/person/day 0.001 = conversion from grams BOD to kg BOD I = correction factor for additional industrial BOD discharged into sewers (for collected the default is 1.25, for uncollected the default is 1.00)

The default factor for BOD used is 40 kg BOD/cap/day extracted from Table 6.4 IPCC 2006. Value for Asia, Middle East, Latin America.

The data on Average annual per capita protein generation is provided by FAO for years 1990-92, 1995-97, 2000-02 and 2005-07. Intermediate years have been interpolated. The years 2007-2016 have been extrapolated using the expression of trend of the time series:

Methodology and emission factors

The Tier 1 methodology provided by IPCC 2006 has been followed for estimating the emissions of both CH4 and N2O. For the emissions of CH4, the following equation has been used:

𝐶𝐻 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑈 ∗ 𝑇 , ∗ 𝐸𝐹,

𝑇𝑂𝑊 𝑆 𝑅

Where:

TOW = total organics in wastewater in inventory year, kg BOD/yr S = organic component removed as sludge in inventory year, kg BOD/yr Ui = fraction of population in income group i in inventory year Ti,j = degree of utilisation of treatment/discharge pathway or system, j, for each income group fraction i in inventory

year i = income group: rural, urban high income and urban low income j = each treatment/discharge pathway or system EFi,j = emission factor, kg CH4/kg BOD R = amount of CH4 recovered in inventory year, kg CH4/yr

The previous equation is complemented with the following expression for estimating the emission factor:

𝐸𝐹 𝐵 ∗ 𝑀𝐶𝐹 Where: j = each treatment/discharge pathway or system Bo = maximum CH4 producing capacity, Kg CH4/kg BOD MCFj = methane correction factor

For the calculation of the CH4 emissions, the assumptions made regarding the split of type of discharges for rural and urban population are contained in table Wastewater discharges typology above, so the corresponding coefficients of 2006 IPCC Guidelines have been used for calculating the emission factor by treatment.

The final emission factors used for estimating CH4 emissions are the following:

For the case of N2O, the following expression has been used:

Where: NEFFLUENT = total annual amount of nitrogen in the wastewater effluent, kg N/yr P = human population Protein = annual per capita protein consumption, kg/person/yr FNPR = fraction of nitrogen in protein, default = 0.16, kg N/kg protein FNON-CON = factor for non-consumed protein added to the wastewater FIND-COM = factor for industrial and commercial co-discharged protein into the sewer system NSLUDGE = nitrogen removed with sludge (default = zero), kg N/yr

Figure 24 – GHG emissions in the waste sector - 1994-2016 (Gg CO2-eq)

As illustrated in the previous figure, waste GHG emissions show an increasing trend in all categories. The main contributor to the emissions of the sector is category 4D1 Domestic wastewate, with a contribution that ranges from a 29.4% in 1994 to a 38.8% in 2016. The increasing emissions of this category are explained by the expansion of the use of latrines in rural areas. The use of sanitary latrines involve higher methane emissions compared to other practices such as the discharges in lakes and rivers. The second contributor the waste GHG emissions is solid waste disposal, with a contribution that ranges from a 26.9% in 1994 to a 32.3% in 2016. The increasing emissions of this category are driven by the improvements in the waste management systems, particularly the shift from un-managed to managed landfills. Even this is a significant improvement for the country, the GHG emissions associated have growth, as the methane emissions associated to aerobic managed sites are significantly higher than the emissions for un-managed landfills11. The third contributor to waste emissions is open burning of waste, which a contribution than ranges from a 43.3% in 1994 to a 28.5 in 2016. The contribution has been reduced maninly driven by the migration of population from rural to urban areas, where open burning is a practice less extended among population. Finally, biological treatment of waste has a very low contribution to waste emissions, with a contribution that ranges from a 0.4% in 1994 to a 0.3% in 2016.

Regarding the contribution of each gas to total GHG emissions, the following table show the detailed evolution of the split of greenhous gases for the entire time period.

11 The methane correction factors provided by 2006 IPCC Guidelines for unmanaged sites are significantly lower than those for managed sites, affecting the final GHG emissions estimated.

3.7. Key category assessment and uncertainty analysis

3.7.1. Key category assessment

The 2006 IPCC Guidelines define key category (KC) as “(…) one that is prioritised within the national inventory system because its estimate has a significant influence on a country’s total inventory of greenhouse gases in terms of the absolute level, the trend, or the uncertainty in emissions and removals. Whenever the term key category is used, it includes both source and sink categories. (…)”

As far as possible, key categories should receive special consideration in terms of three important inventory aspects.

Firstly, identification of key categories in national inventories enables limited resources available for preparing inventories to be prioritised.

Secondly, in general, more detailed higher tier methods should be selected for key categories.

Thirdly, it is good practice to give additional attention to key categories with respect to quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC)

The general approach for identifying key categories is to identify KC in terms of their contribution to the absolute level of national emissions and removals. For the inventories considering time

Page 107: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

95

series, the quantitative determination of key categories should include an evaluation of both the absolute level and the trend of emissions and removals.

The 2006 IPCC approach 1 have been used to identify key categories, for both the level and the trend. The following is a description of the methodology followed:

Level assessment

The contribution of each source or sink category to the total national inventory level is calculated according to the following equation:

Disaggregation level

The results of the key category identification will be most useful if the analysis is done at the appropriate disaggregation level of categories. The assessment performed has followed, as far as possible, the suggested aggregation level of analysis for approach 1 provided by 2006 IPCC Guidelines. The exception is the Forestry and Other Land Uses subsector. In this sector, the break down in more disaggregated categories has not been possible because of the data available.

3.7.2. Uncertainty analysis

The following table shows the uncertainty values estimated by CRF category of the inventory. Specifically, the following table shows:

‐ The uncertainty of the activity data and emission factor by emission source. The source of all the uncertainty values for the energy sector is IPCC 2006. For the selection of the uncertainty among those provided by IPCC 2006, the criteria have been based on the conservative principle, using the upper values of the ranges by default.

‐ The combined uncertainty calculated with the uncertainty of the activity data and emission factor and the emission level and trend, where appropriate,

‐ The calculation for the sensitivity type A and B, based on the equations provided in 2016 IPCC guidelines.

‐ The uncertainty in the total level and trend of the emissions of the inventory.

The methodology followed is the tier 1 provided by 2006 IPCC Guidelines. The following table and the associated calculations are extracted from the table 3.2, volume 1, chapter 3 of 2006 IPCC Guidelines. A complete description of each of the terms of the table is available in this chapter of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines.

3.8. Results of the QA/QC

Quality Control

Quality Control (QC) is a system of routine technical activities aimed at assessing and ensuring the quality of the inventory as it is compiled. The quality of control needs to be developed in all steps of the inventory compilation, from the data gathering to the submission of reports. QC is developed in line with the specificities defined in the QA/QC plan (see section on the QA/QC plan within the National System above).

In its 2019 edition of the GHG emission inventory, Cambodia has developed two types of quality control procedures: general QC procedures and category specific QC procedures, as proposed by 2016 IPCC Guidelines.

General QC procedures include generic quality checks related to calculations, data processing, completeness, and documentation that are applicable to all inventory source and sink categories.

For the general QC procedures, a QC template was used by national compilers for reviewing the GHG emission compilation of all sectors. The following table shows the QC procedures checked by national compilers.

Uncertainty

Assignment of uncertainties The assigned uncertainties (tab "Uncertainty") are consistent with IPCC 2006

The QC procedures of the template were checked in all inventory categories, specifying the errors found, proposing corrective actions and making observations, if appropriate.

The following issues were identified and corrected as a result of the general QC procedures:

i) The emission factors for category 1A4 were linked to those of category 1A1. ii) There was an error in the conversion performed in the calculation of the biogas

consumption iii) There was an error in the formulae for the calculation of domestic wastewater.

Page 122: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

110

iv) There was an error in the amount of gases used as a raw data for the calculation of emissions within category 2F.

An additional general QC procedure was carried out in the 2019 edition of the inventory. The GHG emission calculations were performed in the 2006 IPCC software and the results were compared against the results obtained in the Excel worksheets. The differences between both approached in terms of GHG emissions were below 2% in all cases.

Category specific QC procedures complements general inventory QC procedures and are directed at specific types of data used in the methods for individual source or sink categories. These procedures require knowledge of the specific category, the types of data available and the parameters associated with emissions or removals and are performed in addition to the general QC checks. The category specific procedures were carried out by International inventory compilers during the inventory development. The main category specific procedures developed were the following:

Energy sector: reference vs sectoral approach; comparison of the data provided by the different sources of information; In the comparison of the reference approach, the differences for some years were above 5%. See methodological section for the energy sector for more detailed information.

IPPU sector: comparison of tier 1 and tier 2 estimates in cement production. As there are data on clinker production from one cement plant as well as data on cement production, it was verified that the differences between estimations are due just to the different coefficients used (95% clinker content vs national specific clinker quantities).

Waste sector: Comparison of the default rate provided by 2006 IPCC for industrial waste generation against a national rate estimated using real data on industrial waste generated. Two conclusions were raised from this QC: i) the default value provided by IPCC is not adequate for the conditions of Cambodia as the results on emissions were higher than those of municipal solid waste; ii) The scope of the data on industrial waste generated is not 100% of the activity data. As a result of the QC, the rate estimated using national data was used, but this issue needs to be improved in future editions of the inventory.

Page 123: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

111

Quality Assurance

In the international team a peer reviewer expert was assigned by sector to undertake checks, propose improvements and ensure the quality of the inventory. These checks have been designed to verify the transparency, accuracy, consistency, comparability and completeness of the information submitted and include:

a) an assessment whether all emission source categories and gases are reported; b) an assessment whether emissions data time series are consistent; c) an assessment whether implied emission factors are comparable to the emissions

factors of other countries with similar national circumstances such as Vietnam and also taking the IPCC default emission factors into account;

d) an assessment of the use of ‘Not Estimated’ notation keys where IPCC tier 1 methodologies exist;

e) an analysis of recalculations performed for the inventory submission, compared to the inventories presented in previous national communications;

f) a comparison of the national data using both different national data sources and international data sources when available;

g) a comparison of the results of the reference approach with the sectoral approach for the energy sector;

h) an assessment whether there were potential overestimations or underestimations relating to a key category in the inventory.

In particular, the peer reviewers checked if the international team in charge of the inventory compilation had implemented the following activities:

Source data received are traceable back to their source in the compilation system. The mechanisms for this are spreadsheet notes, and a common system of data referencing of activity data and emission factors in each sector.

Checks are undertaken at each stage of the inventory compilation – on receipt of the data, after each calculation step and at the end of the process before dissemination.

Calculations are also checked and the checks applied are described in the QA/QC Plan.

Checks are made on the inventory comparing the emissions of the whole time series and looking for explanations of the trend to ensure that large inter-annual variations have been investigated.

Compare the reference and the sectoral approach in the energy sector and look for explanations in case of large discrepancies (the total emissions by fuel, must be consistent with the total emissions by source).

All spreadsheets are subject to second-person checking prior to data uploading to the IPCC software.

As an additional quality check, the national emission estimates were also prepared via the IPCC software by introducing the activity data and emission factors.

The national report provides full details of inventory estimation methodologies by source category. The report includes summaries of key data sources and significant revisions to methods and historic data, where appropriate. It also describes the assumptions used in the compilation.

The uncertainty analysis and the key category analysis for the greenhouse gas inventory is detailed within the National Inventory Report.

Page 124: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

112

The national report includes a programme of continuous improvement. At the end of each reporting cycle it is planned that all the database files, spreadsheets,

on-line manual, electronic source data, paper source data, output files, etc, are in effect frozen and archived. An annual report outlining the methodology of the inventory and data sources is produced. Electronic information is stored on hard disks that are regularly backed up.

Final quality assurance checks: Official consideration and approval of the inventory

The official approval procedure of the inventory consisted in one-month period of interactions between the technical international consultants and the national team who held meetings by sector with the most relevant national stakeholders. During this period, the international team revised the inventory according to the observations and recommendations of the competent authority. On the basis of this interaction process, the final version of the inventory was compiled and presented in a validation workshop.

3.9. Improvement plan

Energy sector

The following are the main areas of improvement of the inventory in the energy sector:

1) Consistency of the time series for future inventories. The data used regarding fuel consumption comes from different data sources (The Ministry of Mines and energy, the ERIA report and ASEAN database). The most complete, robust and consistent data is available in the ERIA report, which was developed by a group of experts completing the raw data provided by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. Nevertheless, the Ministry of mines and energy has not followed the work made for the ERIA report for year 2016, issue that affects the consistency of the dataset, but it is highlighted in the following sectors*fuels:

o Evolution of biomass consumption in its distinct types, at least firewood, charcoal and biogas. The different aggregation levels provided by ASEAN, ERIA and the Ministry of Mines affects the consistency of the time series of biomass consumption of categories 1A1, 1A2 and 1A4.

o The value of 2016 for transport jet fuel consumption is very high compared to 2015 of ERIA. The same issue happens in category 1A4, regarding the consumption of oil products in the commerce and public services sector.

o The figures for fuel consumption of oil products in the residential sector are not comparable between the Ministry of Mines and ERIA.

2) Sectoral disaggregation of the energy sector. Related to the previous point, the data of

fuel consumption included in the ERIA report contained certain sectoral break down which is useful for the inventory. In the future, it is recommended to try obtaining more data detailed at sectoral level. As a result of the point 1) and 2) above, it is therefore recommended to the Ministry of mines and energy of Cambodia to implement changes in the collection of energy data to provide more accurate and consistent data to the inventory.

Page 125: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

113

3) Develop road transport estimates based on data of vehicles*km. This approach will enable to compare the estimates performed using fuel consumption and improve the quality of the inventory.

4) Develop estimates for railway (starting in May 2016), marine navigation and international marine bunkers.

IPPU sector

The following are the main areas of improvement of the inventory in the IPPU sector:

1) Improvement of national statistics on production and consumption of products. The Ministry of Industry have provided some (limited) data on production for years 2012-2016. It would be relevant for the country to address the need of having systematic and robust statistics.

2) Improvement of the estimates of cement production. In this edition of the inventory, there is data available regarding cement and clinker production from the biggest production plant in the country. This has enabled the inventory to apply a tier 2 methodology for this production. Nevertheless, this production plant accounts for 2/3 of the national production, so cement production is not apply a tier 2 entirely (for the whole category). The obtainment of information from the remaining production plants will enable Cambodia to have a full tier 2 methodology or the next inventory edition.

3) Continuation of the methodology of F-gases. Cambodia has made a significant effort for obtaining data on HFC imports. The continuation of this approach will be key for the quality of the inventory of future editions.

4) Improving the completeness of the IPPU sector. The lack of reliable statistics in the country has hampered an appropriate assessment of the completeness of the inventory. Cambodia should address the identification of activities and launch processes for raising new raw data for the inventory.

Page 126: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

114

AFOLU sector

3.A.1 - Enteric Fermentation

Emissions from enteric fermentation is estimated thanks to a tier 1 methodology, the main expected improvement for future inventories is to shift towards a tier 2 methodology. For this source, IPCC tier 2 is very detailed and leads to a significative improvement in the inventory. Of course, this methodology is based on additional requirements in terms of data collection. The main data needs concern the characterization of animal populations:

• Typical body weight, • Meat yields, • Milk yields, • Type of feeding, etc.

This effort could be led for cattle, buffaloes and swine which are the main productions for Cambodia.

3.A.2 - Manure Management

For manure management tier 1 and tier 2 are based on the same equations. Currently the inventory corresponds to a tier 1 because only default IPCC parameters are used. But It would be possible to implement a tier 2 by using country-specific data for the distribution between the different manure management systems. In particular, data exist on the development of biogas production in small farms, this type of data could be used to modify the current estimate based on default value proposed by IPCC for Asia. Another key element is the time spent by cattle and buffaloes for grazing. Emissions from grazing are significantly different from those in housing and manure storage, it would be a real improvement to use a country specific estimate for the percentage of manure disposed by grazing. For manure management it would be useful to make additional cross checking between the amount of straw produced by rice crops which are mostly used for livestock feeding and bedding and the estimated of solid manure. In the short-term, it is unrealistic to propose country-specific emission factors for manure management because this emission factors are rather difficult to elaborate and present a very high uncertainty. Moreover, this source remains quite low compared to major key categories of agriculture (enteric fermentation, rice cultivation).

3.B - Land

The methodology used for this inventory is completely copied from the work made for the forest reference level (FRL) in the framework of REDD+ program. Indeed, it is better to keep consistent methodologies and results for the different publications of Cambodia. Nevertheless, it is possible to improve both publications in the future. Different elements could be improved in the future.

Completeness could be improved by adding estimates for the following categories:

• Carbon stock changes for mineral soils. This category was not estimated and may represent a very significative work for inventory teams but, it would complete the reporting for this sector.

Page 127: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

115

• Carbon stock change for dead organic matter (litter and dead wood). Lower impacts are expected from these pools compared to soil, but it is very dependent on forest types.

• Carbon stock changes for harvested wood products.

• Emissions from biomass burning in relation with land use conversions

• Emissions from forest wildfires

• Emissions from mineralization of organic matter in soils

• Emissions from organic soils

Accuracy, could be improved by collecting additional country specific data:

• On areas. Currently two periods (2006-2010 and 2010-2014) are monitored thanks to 3 different maps (2006, 2010, 2014). It is a very good basis for calculating carbon stock changes, but the period remains a bit short to have a complete view on land use changes. Indeed, in the IPCC it is common to use default period of 20 years to use the default parameters for example for soils. Because the covered period is shorter than 20 years, conversion rates are extrapolated for most recent years and for the period before 2006.

• Many references were collected to estimate carbon stocks on the different categories of lands that are monitored by remote sensing. It is very good but cannot be compared to real data coming from a national forest inventory for example. The collection of specific references on forest areas from Cambodia would represent a strong improvement.

Accuracy, could also be improved by applying IPCC tier 1 methodology for biomass in forest areas:

• Currently a tier 2 is applied with the use of a stock change method for biomass in forest. But it would be possible to implement a tier 1 with the use of growth factors and harvested wood, at least for comparison.

• Currently data were collected and offer the possibility to make a complete approach 2 or even approach 3. Currently, the calculation made corresponds to an approach one which means that carbon stocks changes are fully symmetric in the calculations. For example, the losses observed on deforested area are equivalent to the gains on afforested area. Specific calculations could be developed according to the type of changes in the future.

3.C.1 - Biomass burning

Burning of residues is a real concern for rice cultivation. Currently country-specific data was used to estimate the share of the areas where burning of stubble occurs (on the basis of data for 2005-2006). It is already very good, but it only provides a steady estimate although is likely that this type of practice may change overtime. A major improvement would be to monitor this practice with a new survey to estimate the changes since 2005-2006.

Page 128: National GHG Inventory - UNFCCCThe activity data used for developing the inventory is mainly the information which is available at national level and was obtained by the inventory

116

For grassland the current estimate is based on very scarce information. A specific monitoring would be necessary to improve the estimate of activity data for this source.

3.C.2 - Liming

Liming is not covered currently. It would be necessary to collect such information with a survey to estimate the associated emissions.

3.C.3 - Urea application

Urea consumption is not monitored. Data on fertilizers are provided by the Ministry of Commerce since 2002 but this data only concerns the total amount of fertilizers and not the amounts by type of fertilizer. Currently urea consumption was estimated thanks to FAOSTAT data to estimate a proportion of urea in fertilizers. The monitoring of urea and other nitrogenous fertilizers is part of the improvement plan. The related emissions are currently rather low but fertilizer consumption could increase a lot in the future.

3.C.4 - Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils

As mentioned for urea consumption, nitrogen consumption from mineral fertilizer is not known with a lot of accuracy and this estimate could be improved. Nevertheless, the contribution of mineral fertilizers remains quite low compared to the contribution of organic amendments, pasture, and crop residues. It is certainly more important to focus on organic fertilizers and on the management of crop residues to improve the estimate of this source.

3.C.5 - Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils

This source may represent big amounts of N2O, but it is linked with the other parameters used to estimated direct N2O emission. The main improvement which could be expected concerns the estimate of NH3 volatilisation.

3.C.6 - Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management

This source represents a very small amount of emissions and is based on very uncertain parameters. It does not appear as a priority in the improvement plan.

3.C.7 - Rice cultivations

This category is a major category for Cambodia. Currently the calculation is based on tier 1 methodology from the IPCC but the calculation is made for 24 different types of rice cultivation. It represents a very detailed calculation and could nearly be considered as a tier 2 (some country-specific parameters are used, and the categorization is high). The main improvements that could be led concern the amounts of residues which are incorporated after harvest and the amounts of organic manure which brought to soils. It could be very interesting to collect additional data on the area really irrigated because the current estimates are based on different sources but not on dedicated statistics. Currently, the cultivation period is defined by type but not changing on the period. In practices varieties of rice are improved and the periods of cultivations are becoming shorter. It could be included in the calculations.

117

Waste sector

The following are the main areas of improvement of the inventory in the waste sector:

Developing estimates for the rate of waste generation per capita for the entire time series. Currently, the rate used is constant for the entire time series. The rate is likely to be lower in the historical period, but it has not been estimated in this edition.

Improving the information on waste composition. In this inventory edition, different studies have been considered for the choice of activity data. The differences between studies were found to be significative.

Improving the data gathered on waste disposal, including industrial waste disposal. The information used has been gathered by the MoE and includes municipal and industrial waste disposal. Nevertheless, this information is only partial and do not cover the 100% of the scope of the activity. This issue could be improved by obtaining additional data from the remaining landfills and improving the characterization of the waste management sector in the country.

Raise information about incineration of wastes. This activity occurs in the country, but it has not been estimated due to unavailability of data.

Estimate the amount of waste burned in landfills. This has not been estimated in the current edition of the inventory and could raise significantly the emissions of category 4C3 open burning.

Obtain direct information about composting. This activity occurs in the country, but it has been estimated using assumptions.

Improve the data available from the national biodigesters programme. In the current edition of the inventory, the estimation of emissions due to the production of biogas in the residential sector (which is happening thanks to the national biodigester program), has been estimated deriving the activity data (amount of wastes treated), from information on biogas produced. This information could be improved for future inventory editions.

Improve the statistics on population for improving the estimates of open burning and domestic wastewater. The split between urban and rural population is needed for different areas of the inventory. National statistics has changed the definition of rural used, hampering the estimation of a consistent time series. This issue has been solved using the estimates provided by the World bank. In the future, the improvement of this statistics will enhance the quality of the inventory.

Improve the data on discharge types by population fraction, to improve the calculation of domestic wastewater.

Improving national statistic on industrial production. The quality of the IPPU and waste sectors are very affected for the lack of available information on industrial production. In the future, the improvement of this statistics will enhance the quality of the inventory.
